The timer not moving is a sure sign it needs replaced. Fortunately replacing it is easy. Just search for your make and model dryer and order the timer. Remove the power, the back panel with the timer, the knob on the timer, and just a couple of screws and it's out. One by one move wires from old timer to new, install the reverse as taking it out. Put the knob back on, and the back panel. Plug it in, and you should be golden.

Ah, I just saw you answered in your own question! Good job! :-)
Anytime the drum turns, with or without heat, and the timer makes noises, doesn't move, has to be wiggled to start, or the start position changed, you can bet it's the timer. We just don't want to take a risk because it's one of the most expensive parts to replace, usually the motor costs a bit more, but seldom go out. Don't waste time troubleshooting other parts if any of the above applies, it's usually the timer.

you need to open front panel or top, depends on brand and model... you will see door switch there, to check you will need electrical meeter, unplug from power before opening it.check continuity of switch, by pressing/depressing it.if it's working than check start button switch if your model has it.appliancesrepairla.com

Make sure it has power. Then:Check the door switch.
A little lever sticking down through top right of door opening. If it is
not there you will need new door switch(sometimes the little lever
breaks off). If it is there and does not click when you press it in you
need a new door switch. if it clicks when you close the door
then you have a bad thermal fuse.The thermal fuse is found by taking
the back of the dryer off. The fuse is an oblong white plastic piece
with 2 wires attached.

is this the even heat model? if it is you need a new control board on the back of the timer area and might as well buy a couple relays the black ones with 4 wires in them. one is for the pts and the other is a heater relay both are the same part
